RTI Application 11th Nov 2014

Request: For emails and other forms of correspondence, memos and briefing notes, notes relating to telephone conversations, various audit/maintenance/geotechnical reports, photos relevant to climbing at Kangaroo Point Cliffs, re-opening of the Cliffs for climbing, within the timeframe Jan09 to Nov14.

Commentary: Most of the documents recovered were already in our possession. Those we were really interested in were not recovered. We have in our possession emails from Council which are absolutely relevant and were not recovered by the search. This result is not surprising and is part of the ‘games’ one can expect when exercising RTI. We made the decision not to invest more time in the black hole of pursuing the request through the appeals process given we had more time-efficient avenues open to us.
